Swans

Swans is an American post-punk band originally active from 1982 to 1997, led by singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Michael Gira. The band was one of the few groups to emerge from the early 1980s New York No Wave scene and stay intact into the next decade. Formed by Gira in 1982, Swans employed a shifting lineup of musicians until their dissolution in 1997. Besides Gira, the only other constant members were keyboardist/vocalist/songwriter Jarboe from 1984 to 1997, and semi-constant guitarist Norman Westberg.

There is a star in my throat
In a void there is hope
In a space in between
Runs the milk of release if motion is time
I am water, I will rise
To your bed on a cloud
Where you stand, where you writhe
Painted red, bleeding gold
Your sword guts the sun flesh is torn
Oceans disgorge your love
We are swimming through your moonlight pools
The phosphene tides the writing on your eyes

We drift through stone
We sift our own powdered bones
We wash, we are clean
What is it now that is thinking this thing?
Oh where are you?
What can you do to prove you exist?
Oh what is this? Who is this singing that
Which no longer exists?

Nothing can stop us from becoming nothing now
Nothing can stop us from becoming nothing now
Nothing can stop us from becoming nothing now
Nothing can stop us from becoming nothing now
Nothing can stop us from becoming nothing now
Nothing can stop us from becoming nothing now
Nothing can stop us from becoming nothing now
Nothing can stop us from becoming nothing now
Nothing can stop us from becoming nothing now
Nothing can stop us from becoming nothing now
Nothing can stop us from becoming nothing now
Nothing can stop us from becoming nothing now
Nothing can stop us from becoming nothing now
